if you wanna be close to the stage id go about 5 hours ahead of time to wait in line. i know it sounds like alot but the time pases sooooo fast. i go to concerts like every month and sometimes i wait in line for like 8 hours....but its worth it when your super close to the stage! im going to the philly show and in going to wait in line from 12 to 7 haha...hopefully i helped(:
